Lillesvin goes Ruby
Now that the summer and the sun is shining, I thought I might as well spend some time doing something useful and healthy, which is why I’ve decided to rewrite the entire site in Ruby. Ruby is a very, very nice truly object-oriented programming language from the far east. (Yes, Japan to be exact.)
All this coding of course means that I’ll have less time to write in my blog and let you know all about my oh so interesting life in front of my 14 inch window to the world-wide world, but who cares? I’ll tell you who… None! That’s who. ;-p
You can get yourself a sneak-preview of the new site at port 8080 (Update: Not anymore!), where I’ve got an Apache 2.0.50 running Ruby 1.8.2 via mod_ruby 1.2.0. Nice and fast… Mmm… So far I’ve only got the blog (w/o comments and stuff) running, most of the initial coding is pure backend stuff, which is needed in order for most things to work… Once I get to the frontend, things should start moving a little faster.
Enjoy Ruby!

Nice work Anders! Really nifty work!
Ruby IS a nice scripting language, and I’ve really enjoyed looking at portation from PHP into Ruby.
Keep up the good work - it’s quite interesting watching people discovering a new platform. :)
See you soon (I miss my 30 GB harddrive…)
